528604	2007-02-28 16:20:00	I like to put a few HB eggs in the juice left over from pickled beets. It colo(u)rs them a nice purple and gives them a nice tangy flavor...depending on how long you leave them in the juice though.	SurferJoe46 (51)
528605	2007-02-28 16:30:00	Well, if we're into the really technical stuff now - To prevent eggs cracking & leaking while boiling, (Don't you hate it when the white stuff oozes out?) simply prick the rounded end first with a needle or suchlike . That releases the air in the sac . It's air expansion which causes the cracking . And now that we can all create the perfectly-peeled hard-boiled egg, who can tell me what my mother probably added when mashing yolks for "Ladies Bring a Plate . " stuffed eggs? I remember green bits (parsley or chives) & sometimes curry powder, but that's all . We call them "Deviled Eggs" here I think . . . if I understand what you're saying . Just halve the eggs lengthwise, take out the yolks and place them in a bowl with a dash of dry prepared mustard (the really HOT mustard can be used if you can stand it . . . like Chinese or Greek-style), and add some very finely chopped parsley . Mash the ingredients together with a fork (is there a NZ version for that word: FORK?) adding a little salt and pepper if wanted and place back into the egg halves by the spoonful . Add a little garnish like paprika or even cayenne pepper to the top of them and serve . . . I like mine at room temperature for the whole flavor to shine . Too cold hides the subtle flavor of paprika . Tonight I am making cream puffs for a group get together . Filled with French whipped cream and folded-in vanilla home made pudding for consistency . . . um! I make everything from scratch . . but I buy the flour and ingredients . . . NO instant pudding mix for me! Late edit: Got it! NZ for fork is "DINGLEHOFFER"	SurferJoe46 (51)
528606	2007-02-28 19:18:00	Late edit: Got it! NZ for fork is "DINGLEHOFFER"A what?! :eek: Sounds like one of Santas reindeers . . . . ?:illogical Hmm . . . think you would find most NZ'ers do use forks . We even have knives and spoons to eat with! :p	Jen (38)
528607	2007-02-28 19:25:00	If they are store-bought, they are probably covered in a light oil or wax to keep bacteria out as shells are variably permeable so the chick, should there be one, will not suffocate . These eggs are the easiest to peel as the membrane for the respiration of the chick has pulled away from the shell . Gosh, how to put someone off eating eggs! :eek: We had pet chooks as a child; a street-wise savvy NZ bantam and a chinese silky that the definition of "bird brain" was written for . :rolleyes: . I actually went off eating whole eggs while we had them as pets, just couldn't bring myself to eat their babies . :p	Jen (38)
528608	2007-02-28 20:22:00	Oh Jen, you are a softy after all!	Richard (739)
528609	2007-02-28 20:37:00	Jen - chook eggs are unfertalised... no chicks are killed in their consumption. For eggs from home raised chooks this may be different if you've got a resident rooster!	Greg (193)
528610	2007-02-28 21:22:00	The scene: Two Neanderthal cavemen discussing eating all the new found foods they have discovered when Ugh picks up an egg and Gor says: "Go ahead, tell me that you're gonna eat something that just popped out of the rear end of a bird . . . Yeah! Right!" OK . . and the "Dinglehoffer" is in a line from the "Littlest Mermaid" when the seagull (who is Buddy Hackett's voice-over) holds something he knows nothing about, a fork, and trying to not lose his status as know-it-all, tells the princess that it's a "Dinglehoffer" to cover his ignorance . When I go out to gather eggs, I always tell the hens that are still sitting on them: "Let me eat your children" . Sometimes I say it while cackling . . . . . lol I am happy that the doctors are letting you have sharp-pointy objects again .	SurferJoe46 (51)
528611	2007-03-01 02:21:00	"DINGLEHOFFER" :lol: :lol: :lol: All i could think of was a cartoon fork running along a beach in slow motion with the baywatch theme playing . "Dingle Hoffer starring in . . . . Weight watch" Long live the Hoff! Sorry for my moment of madness .	rob_on_guitar (4196)
